Family-owned and operated in Stuart. Three generations of window treatment industry experience.
Understand your options
A roll-down screen stores above the opening when it's raised. Choosing one starts with your home: the size of the opening, the mounting structure and the documentation for the exact system.
Lower the screen across the opening when needed and store it in its overhead housing when raised. We'll explain the operation and requirements of the proposed system.
You should know how the screen is secured and how to operate it if power is unavailable. We'll discuss those steps for the selected model before you decide.
The Shutter Factory is family-owned and operated in Stuart. Tom Shinn grew up in the window treatment industry and started his company in 2018, building on three generations of family experience. We bring that hands-on background to explaining your options. For storm protection, we also review the selected system's documentation and your home's structure to assess the fit for each opening.
Choose with the details explained
Storm protection is specific to the product and the opening. We'll help you understand the proposed model, its product approval and the installation requirements that apply. Everyday insect screens and solar shades serve a different purpose; any additional shade or insect-control features need to be confirmed for the chosen storm system.
We identify the manufacturer, model and product approval so you can see the tested limits and the requirements for your installation.
Opening dimensions, mounting surfaces, anchors and required clearances all matter. Those details need to be assessed together before a system is selected.
We'll explain how the selected screen is secured and used, including any manual operation during a power outage. Keep the instructions and practice the prescribed steps before they are needed.
A plan for your property
We begin with the openings and mounting conditions, then discuss the selected product's documentation and any project-specific permitting requirements. The installation plan must follow the manufacturer's instructions for hardware, anchors and clearances.
Before proceeding, we'll discuss operation, maintenance and any required inspections. Keep the product and installation documents, along with the applicable warranty information, for future reference.

The size and number of openings, approved system, mounting structure and controls affect the cost. Anchoring and other project requirements can also change the work involved.
We'll talk through the proposed scope so you understand the product and installation behind the price. A price per opening alone doesn't describe the complete job.
A few helpful answers
The answer depends on your openings, the approved performance of the exact product and how you want to deploy and store it. We can discuss those practical differences. Interior plantation shutters are decorative window treatments and don't provide hurricane protection.
Your insurer needs to review the proposed product, installation and any required inspection documentation. Ask them before counting on a discount; we don't promise insurance savings.
That depends on the model, the number of openings and how the system operates. We'll explain the selected system's operating steps, including what to do if power is lost, so you understand its storm-preparation instructions.
